Used it as a conscript. The ammunition came in a wax-sealed cardboard box and and each box filled a magazine. I remember that system as being really nice and well thought out.

I would guess that the confusion between the nomenclature of clip versus magazine, probably occurred sometime around the changeover from the m1 to the M14.

The term 'magazine' was used as the function name for the facility to store ammunition, in the days prior to cartridges, the magazine was where powder was stored. When firearms for cartridges were introduced, the part holding the ammunition - not in the chamber - was also called the magazine. What is not mentioned about the Mannlicher clip or 'en bloc loading device' is the device becomes part of the magazine when in use. It has the feed or control lips (to direct the loaded cartridge into the chamber, and also holds the rounds in place (as the walls of a conventional magazine does).

I once owned a Springfield Armory M1A . I had a few magazines and the green canvas bandolier with stripper clips in cardboards . When I was in the navy the M14 was our fleet service rifle . I didn't know about the green bandoliers until I EAOSed and bought the M1A .

I know that semantics are a bottom less discussion in this case; but I always felt the simplest explanation of the two is: A magazine is the part of the weapon that contains additional rounds for feeding; a clip is a device for loading multiple rounds into a magazine at once. This encompasses all common types of magazine, including detachable magazines, fixed internal magazines, tube magazines, and so on. Also reflects the broader definition of magazine, as used in ships, forts, etc. I suppose it's just an elaborate way of saying, clips load the magazine; magazine feeds the gun.

Kpist 45b speed loader. 36 rounds in a few seconds. 6 stripper clips with 6 rounds each put together as one unit and a special plunger that fits over the top of the magazine. You put the clip in the side of the speed loader, tilt it all a little then press the plunger 6 times and you're fully loaded.

I think you mean Kpist m/45 .. and the ammo is called 39B (steel jacketed 9x19) I was just wondering why Ian didn't show the 36 round stripper Chips, and the speed loader , then it occured to me he might not have access to swedish military ammunition.. maybe I should send him a 36-round clip? ;)

@@AndersLiebenholtz 45B,( thank's for the correction) some of the 45's had the Finnish mag and didn't use that loader, they had another one where you had to load it, round by round, with a special plunger. And the 39b had tombak plating over the steel jacket.

Semantically, it's not a "Clip," but you can say "I need a Clip!" You can also say "I Need a Magazine!" or "I'm out!" but in some ways it's like saying Whiskey Tango Foxtrot over the radio. You can "Well actually" in the comments, but if you're in a firefight, and your buddy needs a "Clip," you throw him a Magazine, and then debate semantics after the firefight. If you want to be an asshole on the Range, you throw him an Empty one, and joke that he didn't say he needed Ammo. Likewise, rappers said "Clip" in lyrics. They could say Magazine, but then they would have to rework the whole rhyme. Let's call the whole thing off...

You can carry a shit ton (Standard Imperial shit-ton, not Metric Shittonne) more ammo in clips than you can magazines. You can carry more in box magazines than you can in Drum Magazines. So, loading up, or ordering off of "Cheaper than Dirt," you kinda have to weigh how much you're expecting to need in a firefight, to get to Cover, where you can safely reload. I just watched a Hickock45 video on "How accurate is full auto?" Where he put a 60 round drum into a 55 gallon drum at "Whites of the eyes" range. That's great, but that drum lasted 4 seconds. How much ammo did you bring? Well, actually, he fired 160 rounds in about 10 minutes. That's about 1 belt of machinegun ammunition+a Brady Ban magazine. I'd rather carry 1 belt than 2 drums, and a banana clip.

Another way to think of the difference, is to think of other examples of each word. Magazines contain/store things. A magazine on a battleship stores the munitions. A clip holds things together, but is always carried/contained somewhere else. A money clip holds your bills together, but you still carry it in your pocket.

I was playing the "take and hold" mode of the VR gun sim game "Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades", the one where you're given a random gun at the beginning. Despite there being over 400 guns in the game, I got a Mauser rifle three times in a row. In the time it takes me to open the bolt, get a new clip out of my pocket, put it in the gun, push the bullets in, remove the clip and finally close the bolt, the enemy had long decided exactly how many bullets they they were going to feed me.
